Hi! I would love to have an option to redirect the user from the app they are trying to avoid (e.g. social media) to an app they are trying to use more (e.g. a language course). I find it easier to swap a bad habit for a better one than to quit the bad habit cold turkey.

If you have iOS you can set an automation for this in the shortcuts app. Go to the automation tab and say when X app is opened, then open Y app. It will switch to that app.
yes, it is a workaround but it is not as effective as pausing first and then consciously passing to the second app.
The automation thing is like “press twitter => open duolingo”, without even reminding you why you set that in the first place.
